Getting your business started



In our first lesson we defined what an affiliate is and looked at some of the variety
of products that you could become an affiliate for. The list is almost unlimited.

Today we are going to look at the equipment you need to seriously run an internet
business. There are some things that you absolutely must have and other things
that you will want to get down the road.

The idea is pervasive online that you can earn huge amounts of money with little
or no effort. This is a myth.

You are building a business and all normal business principles apply. You need to budget,
keep records, and plan where you want to go. The internet can help to cut the time frame
that it takes to achieve profit but it does NOT change the basics of building a
successful venture.

Now if you are still reading you have passed your first hurdle. We will now look at
a few of the things you will need.

1.A dependable computer (Hey if you are still using windows 95 on a 486 get real.)
You need a fairly fast computer with enough ram to allow you to traverse the net. You
should be running at the minimum a Pentium 4 or equivalent computer with at least
256 k ram. You can get started with an older machine but you should seriously plan
on upgrading to a newer, more powerful model as soon as possible. This is your
number one tool and it has to work for you to be effective.

2.An internet connection; preferably high speed (Cable or DSL). If you intend to build a
progressive business dial-up just won't cut it. You can start that way but a faster
connection should be one of the first upgrades in your budget.

3.You need antivirus and spyware protection for your computer.

4. Stationary and supplies – Pens, papers, files folders, index cards, a log book, an
appointment calendar etc.

That will get you started for basics.

Next time we will talk about planning your business.
